The unique combination of properties offered by carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites has led to their widespread adoption in aerospace, automotive, and other industries due to their high specific stiffness and strength properties. The present study investigates the potential of vacuum-assisted microwave curing for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites which presents several advantages over traditional autoclave curing methods. Microwave curing offers reduced cycle times, volumetric heating, enhanced safety, and lower energy consumption. This comprehensive approach evaluates the feasibility and efficacy of vacuum-assisted microwave curing for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites by comparing the manufactured composites against traditional autoclave composites. Mechanical properties and microstructural characteristics were measured and examined to accomplish this. In the present work, industrially available IM7/Cycom 5320-1 unidirectional prepreg with 33% resin by weight and a fiber area weight of 145 g/m2 is employed to manufacture the laminated composite. A sixteen-layer symmetric cross-ply ([00/900]4s) and quasi-isotropic ([450/900/-450/00]2s) laminated composites are manufactured using a custom-built microwave curing chamber. Mechanical characterization of the microwave-cured composite is conducted through uniaxial tensile and flexural tests, with subsequent comparison to autoclave-cured samples. Optical microscopy is employed to estimate the quality of the manufactured samples. The results obtained from this study support advancements in composite manufacturing processes, particularly in the aerospace and automotive sectors. Copyright 2024.

Noisy qubit devices limit the fidelity of programs executed on near-term or Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems. The fidelity of NISQ applications can be improved by using various optimizations during program compilation (or transpilation). These optimizations or passes are designed to minimize circuit depth (or program duration), steer more computations on devices with lowest error rates, and reduce the communication overheads involved in performing two-qubit operations between non-adjacent qubits. Additionally, standalone optimizations have been proposed to reduce the impact of crosstalk, measurement, idling, and correlated errors. However, our experiments using real IBM quantum hardware show that using all optimizations simultaneously often leads to sub-optimal performance and the highest improvement in application fidelity is obtained when only a subset of passes are used. Unfortunately, identifying the optimal pass combination is non-trivial as it depends on the application and device specific *** this paper, we propose COMPASS, an automated software framework for optimal Compiler Pass Selection for quantum programs. COMPASS uses dummy circuits that resemble a given program but is composed of only Clifford gates and thus, can be efficiently simulated classically to obtain its correct output. The optimal pass set for the dummy circuit is identified by evaluating the efficacy of different pass combinations and this set is then used to compile the given program. Our experiments using real IBMQ machines show that COMPASS improves the application fidelity by 4.3x on average and by up-to 248.8x compared to the baseline. However, the complexity of this search scales exponential in the number of compiler steps. To overcome this drawback, we propose Efficient COMPASS (E-COMPASS) that leverages a divide-and-conquer approach to split the passes into sub-groups and exhaustively searching within each sub-group. Our evaluations show that E-COMPASS impro

Background: In this paper, a novel hybridisation of the dragonfly algorithm (DFA) with the pattern search (PS) algorithm is applied to the dynamic economic dispatch (DED) problem. The DED problem is non-convex, non-linear, and non-smooth and considering practical constraints such as the loading effect of the valve point and ramp rate limits. The conventional DFA is stuck in the local optima and converges prematurely. Introduction: The characteristics of the optimality of the electric power system are dependent on reliability and high economy. Economic dispatch (ED) significantly contributes in deriving the optimal solutions for the operation of a power system. ED aims to generate electric power at the optimum cost among all generating units in order to satisfy the load demand considering all practical and operational constraints. Practical constraints, such as the effect of steam valves, the dynamic behaviour of ramp rate limits, losses due to transmission of power, and prohibited operating zones, convert the linear and convex problem to a non-convex and non-linear problem. Methods: Planning and scheduling of output electric power from committed generating units to ful-fill the load demand for a scheduled period are termed as DED. The practical generators of thermal power experience the effect of steam valve, real-time ramp rate limit, and technical constraints. DED satisfies all practical, technical, and operational constraints. The DFA was a newly proposed method taking the inspiration of the behaviour of dragonflies for hunting and migrating towards food. The random movement of dragonfly clusters depicts their static characteristics for exploring in the local search space for exploitation competencies, whereas the dynamic behaviour of swarms is used for exploring the global search space by moving in a single direction for a long distance. Result: The efficiency of the proposed method is validated for six well-known benchmark functions. The hybrid technique is com
